  • Abstract
    In light of the recent furor over the US government´s IT surveillance techniques--ignited by Edward Snowden, who gave details of ongoing operations that deal with email and telephone communications--Keith Miller explores ideas relevant to the case. In particular, he reviews issues that are important for IT professionals concerned with the ethical ramifications of their work.
